Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances vs Endless Space
Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances
Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances is a decent MMORTS game that is based on the popular strategy game franchise, Command & Conquer. Set in the same universe as its other standalone games, Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances provides MMO players with the ease of being able to play a version of C&C on their web browsers, though that "version" might not be something that hardcore fans of the franchise may actually like. This is mainly because of its gameplay really. Unlike its standalones, this game provides players with the tried-and-true game design that many other browser-based MMOs have used over the years which admittedly doesn't win this game any extra points. Okay, there might be a bit modification to that design but the gameplay is still, overall, rather boring... and for some, disappointingly so.That said, Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances is still a pretty nice game for casual MMO players who are tired of the same old MMO strategy gameplays and would like to try something different for a change. Though be warned, the pace in this game can be a tad bit slow so you might need to bear with it for awhile before you can get to the more interesting stuff.
Endless Space
Endless Space is a stunning turn based strategy game where you are in control, and have a variety of ways to win. Take command of one of 10 different unique races and then help them to develop, build and attack as needed to achieve your goals. You can win by Diplomacy, Technology or simply smashing your enemies into the floor. Each game is against up to 4 opponents in randomly generated maps that include whole chunks of galactic space.Control your resources and develop your civilization and military by increasing their technology and creating huge cities. There are 7 ways to win, each with their own victory conditions, when one of the players gets it the game is over, there is also a timer that counts down so you are against other players and the clock. The combat is turn based and uses rock paper scissors style, blended with a lot of tactical choices. An interesting game with a lot of replayability and just a sheer enjoyment factor.
